Chapter 24: Netherworld Warrior

Roar, roar~!

A low and deep roar could be heard, as the ground in front of him exploded with a bang.  A white arm came out of the ground and followed by a skeletal body covered in rags which crawled out of the ground.  There were traces of light in the empty holes of its skull as it stared at me and Ling Yue.

The monster suddenly appearing scared me and I even quickly withdrew two steps, making sure Ling Yue was behind me.

Ling Yue seemed to be satisfied with my performance as she lightly smiled and said, Bookworms courage isnt bad!

I thought in my heart: Fuck, my legs are already trembling and its not bad...

I didnt say much as I quickly looked at the skeletons stats -

[Skeleton Warrior] (Normal Monster)

Level: 30

Attack: 245-280

Defense: 60

HP: 1500

Attack type: Weakening attacks, weakens the targets defense by 25%.

...

I was slightly startled, God!  It has 280 attack, how terrifying!

Ling Yue pursed her lips into a smile and said, Bookworm, look at its HP and defense again!

I instantly understood.  This kind of undead monster had low HP and weak defense, it only had strong attack power!

So, I quickly took out an iron arrow and shot a ice arrow at it!

Pa!

A 724 damage figure above the Skeleton Warriors head.  Without any hesitation, I shot another fire arrow and this time a 879 damage figure appeared!

Wu, wu, wu:

The Skeleton Warrior didnt even have the time to make a move and it had already been defeated!

Ling Yue was slightly surprised.  Her little mouth opened as she said, Good fellow.  Bookworm, you have a really high physical attack power!

The implied meaning was that she didnt have a low magical attack power?

I got the hint and smiled as I said, Ling Yue, do you want to try?

Ling Yue gave a snappy smile.  Then she raised her hand and threw a fireball at the head of a Skeleton Soldier!

1894!

Instant kill!  She had skilled a level 30 monster with a single hit!

No wonder Ling Yue wanted to level here.  Her fire magic was actually this powerful!

Ling Yue looked at me and laughed as she said, With just our party of two, we have quite a bit of fire power!

I couldnt say anything.  This kind of two man party, not to mention our burst power, our attack power was probably enough for us to take over the world!

So, the farming process was very easy.  With me in front exploring and Ling Yue following close behind me, the fireball flew through the air, killing all the monsters that appeared.  My flame arrow also shot out once in awhile, but compared to the Ling Yues fireballs, its power was a little bit lacking.  But it was still enough to kill the level 30 Skeleton Warriors in a two hits.

The experience bar slowly increased and almost each monster gave over 1000 experience points.  Occasionally there were monsters that dropped potions and Ling Yue would always anxiously smile and say, Bookworm, quickly go and pick those potions up!

Actually Ling Yue was a very thrifty girl, even though she brought 24 gold coins worth of potions before coming.  

The monsters on the hill side were all taken care of by us in just a single hour and I had also gone from level 25 to level 27.  This kind of levelling speed was truly surprising.  Ling Yue was still at level 30.  It was clear that later levels was much hard to grind, but of course I knew that because I was a lower level, I definitely took quite a bit of her experience.

Finally, we reached a cave in the hill side.  I saw a few creepy large words written on the cave entrance: Netherworld Cavern

Ling Yue smiled and said, This, is the goal for this trip!  Bookworm, do you see the pile of bones on the side?  Talk to it and you can get the Netherworld Cavern task.  Lets see if we can do this quest together.

I looked over and found that there was actually a pile of bones on the ground.  It had already been broken to pieces.

So I turned my head and asked out of curiosity, Ling Yue, arent you scared of this kind of creepy place?

Ling Yue gave a slight smile, Im scared, of course I scared.  Dont you see me standing far away?

I was completely speechless.  Then I opened the dialogue with the pile of pones and there was actually a reaction -

Ding~!

System Notification: What secrets are these skeletons hiding, do you want to find out?

I quickly pressed the confirm button and instantly heard another system notification -

Ding~

System Notification: Do you accept the quest [Netherworld Cavern]?  (Quest difficulty: 550)!

Quest details: The kingdoms general had been mysteriously died outside the cave.  Please go to the caverns fifth floor, find the chief culprit and kill them!

....

The details of the quest was very simple.  It just required one to enter the Netherworld Cavern and kill a monster, then the quest would be over!

Ling Yue asked from the side, Whats the quest difficulty for you?

550, you?

450, he, he!

It should be because Ling Yue was at a higher level, so the difficulty was lower.

Seeing me stand up, Ling Yue smiled and said, Originally I wanted to find a top ten expert of the chinese server to come with me and finish this quest, now it seems like its not necessary.  Bookworm, you can actually finish this quest!

After finishing, Ling Yues eyes swept over my Scarlet Flame set, a look harbouring evil intentions was revealed on her face.

I secretly complained in my heart.  Dealing with such a clever girl, it really wasnt a simple matter.  She could definitely see that my Scarlet Flame Set were not ordinary items!

So, I innocently said, Thats no good.  I am just a weak archer, do you want me to tank the monsters?

Ling Yue gave me a snappy looky and said, Stop trying to pretend with me.  That set has at least over 150 defence, my eyes are very accurate!

I was secretly shocked.  She had actually guessed it!

At this time, Ling Yue gave a slight smile and turned on the effects of her equipment one by one.  In that moment, a dazzling light shined out and her equipment set was covered in light.  It was very eye catching!

Ling Yue did not try to conceal anything and shared the properties of her equipment with the party one by one.  The equipment that she had was a Roaring Flame Set, it was a set level 30 Bronze Grade Mage equipment!

Each piece of the Roaring Flame Set added around 5% of fire magic damage, the entire set added around 50% increase to fire magic damage.  It also had a fire shield qi spell that could protect the mage from damage for a period of time!

I was shocked, it really is angering a person to death by comparing to her.  I originally thought that my items were already pretty awesome, but compared to Ling Yues Roaring Flame Set, it was actually quite bad!

So, I no longer hid anything and shared the details of the Scarlet Flame Set with her.  I also shared the details of the Golden Bow with her.

Seeing the stats of the Golden Bow, Ling Yue couldnt help opening her mouth and saying in surprise, Good fellow!  So..The first silver weapon was actually in your hands!  Humph...You keep pretending to be pitiful, it seemed like you actually had such a strong weapon!

I helplessly said, Theres not choice, I have to hide it.  If not, then who knows how many people would have attacked me for it.  Id have to be cautious of all the people trying to steal it from me, how could I level like that everyday?

Ling Yue pursed her lips into a smile, Thats true!  Now, Im even more confident!  Well kill our way to the Netherworld Caverns fifth floor and complete this quest.  The reward will definitely be very high!

I nodded.  With a difficulty of 550, it would be strange if the reward wasnt high!

So, I entered into the cavern.  I felt the temperature drop and found it hard not to shiver.

I saw that the Netherworld Cavern was a large disc shaped cave and there was a staircase down on the opposite side.

A low deep roar sounded out and Ling Yue quickly said, Be careful, to the right!

I turned to look and couldnt help being surprised.  Now knowing when, a skeleton monster wearing armour and a helmet appeared to my right, it was swing a heavy sword down!

Pacha~!

A light sound rang and the heavy sword fell on my shoulder.  I felt a severe pain and when I looked at my stats, I found that I had lost around 300 HP!

Such a strong attack power!

I quickly looked at the enemys stats and I became speechless -

[Netherworld Warrior] (Normal Monster)

Level: ???

Attack: ???

Defense: ???

HP: ???

...

At this time, Ling Yue had already thrown out a fireball.  It shot at the shaking skeleton and its HP fell by a fourth!

My heart went cold, no wonder Ling Yue needed a helper.  It seemed like the monsters in the Netherworld Cavern were much stronger than the monsters outside!

I lifted my hand to shoot out a fire arrow.  With a peng sound, the skeleton lost 421 HP!

I wasnt satisfied with this damage value.  Ling Yue had just dealt around 600 damage in a single attack!

So, I quickly shot out an armour piercing arrow.  I only saw a white light flash and it went through the armour of the skeleton, then a 894 damage figure appeared above its head!

Ling Yue shot another fireball to do 558 damage and the skeleton finally fell down!

Ling Yue looked at me in amazement as she asked, What skill did you use just now?  Its so strong, it actually did close to 900 damage!

I was very pleased.  I told her about the armour piercing arrow's ability to ignore 50% defense and Ling Yues smile became even larger, With this, I have more confidence in our ability to finish this quest!  The next kind of monsters are defense types with iron armour, this armour piercing arrow will be very useful!

At this time, another Netherworld Soldier appeared on the side, but I still couldnt see its stats.  In the end Ling Yue told me that the Netherworld Warrior was level 30, its attack was 250-320, and it had 2400 HP.

I was level 27 and this monster was 6 level higher, so I couldnt see anything.

I lowered my body to pick up the silver coins the last Netherworld Warrior dropped.  Then coordinating with Ling Yue, I used another two armour piercing arrows to kill the other Netherworld Warrior.

But at this moment, a dark shadow appeared behind Ling Yue.  Before she could react, a daggers edge fell down!
